Game Preview

Buffalo emerged victorious against New England on the road, 35-31, and is now again in contention not just for the AFC East title, but also for the No. 1 seed in the conference. Just to remind that the Bills came back from a 21-point deficit.

Josh Allen was laser-precise, throwing 3 touchdown passes despite only 193 passing yards. RB James Cook had 107 rushing yards for two scores, and the Bills overall had 169 rushing yards.

The Browns experienced a brutal beating in Chicago, 31-3, and that perfectly reflects the situation on the field. Shedeur needs to step up, as he had a disastrous game here, throwing only for 177 yards, three picks, and suffering 5 sacks.

He ran for 24 yards, the most in Cleveland, which ended the night with 50 rushing yards. This was yet another reason for this terrible defeat. But at least Myles Garrett posted another sack, and now needs one more to level the record.

Bills vs. Browns Head to Head

After 23 games so far, the Browns lead 13-10.

Bills vs. Browns Predictions

The spread on the Bills is 10 points. But there’s another thing. This game will be all about Garrett and his NFL record. So instead of posting a regular bet, we will go with a prop, and that’s Garrett 2+ sacks here. Allen was sacked 33 times this season, and we’ve seen that the O-Line can’t protect him all the time, especially against top-level pass-rushers.
